A new coin, a capsule.
Ethiopia 20 Birr 1998 silver proof coin issued for the “Children of the World” theme in cooperation with UNICEF, highlighting global unity, childhood, and humanitarian values. This commemorative issue reflects Ethiopia’s participation in international efforts to support children and promote a better future.
The obverse features a touching scene of two children standing back-to-back in traditional attire, raising their hands in a gesture of joy or dance. Behind them are stylized huts with thatched roofs, while radiant sun rays spread across the background, symbolizing hope and life. The inscription “ETHIOPIA” appears on the right, with Amharic script above, and the denomination “20 BIRR” below. The reverse displays the UNICEF emblem: two facing child profiles inside a globe, surrounded by laurel branches. Around the design are inscriptions including “1998 FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD” and Amharic text, with the UNICEF name clearly shown beneath the emblem.
Issued in silver with Proof quality, this coin features mirror-like fields and finely frosted details. It stands as a meaningful collectible combining artistic beauty with a powerful humanitarian message, making it especially appealing for collectors of world coins and thematic issues.
